Long video but worth every minute!! I particularly like your laughter when you talk. My mum used to make this but I forgot the steps so I’m glad for a very informative video like this. Maybe you should use only rubber/plastic/wooden utensils for your non-stick pan so that the scratches at the bottom don’t get worse. 👍🏻

[@mystoryhisglory6301]

hi thank you for this video... is the no baking powder needed?

[@Veeluvstocook]

Baking powder is not a must though it has it's merit. For example of I want more chinchin out of the amount of flour I am using (for instance for commercial use)I use baking powder coating it will let it rise more so I can cut them into really smaller size before frying... It also add to fluffiness of the chin chin(but if you follow the tips I shared for fluffy yet crunchy texture this should not be a bother for you if you decide not to use baking powder)

[@hassanmusa483]

Plz can I use baking powder n yeast

[@Veeluvstocook]

Hassan Musa you can use baking powder not yeast

Watching you cook is so satisfying. I would have to find a vegan way to make these to substitute the egg and butter. They look so good though 😋😋😋. I like how they both look, but can't decide if I like the lighter or the little bit more brown color.

[@Veeluvstocook]

🤔🤔🤔🤔 at the butter.. what do you usually use in place of butter for your recipes that calls for butter? I will do my research for you to find out as well.... My preference is actually the dark golden brown while my toddler own is the light golden brown. But seriously any of them I can have anyday anytime😁😁.. Thanks much for your feedback. I appreciate it Thanks much for you feedback

Yes it can be baked but you will need to stir it at interval around for near even brownness and note, it wont be as sweet as the one fried lust like grilled meat versus fried meat

[@adedejioluwanifise3914]

Kudoz to you ma... My questions; please what ingredients can be substitute or subtract from this recipes for commercial purpose.. Which product of vegetable oil is good for frying chin chin..

[@Veeluvstocook]

Thanks. Apologies for the late response (as I always try to respond to my feedback within 24hrs). To your questions: 1) I will say it depends on what you are aiming for. If you really want your crowd to have a very rich experience of chinchin, I will say just follow the recipe to the "T". But if for cost and time consideration, you can add baking powder to it and cut the shapes smaller than I did to get a larger quantity (the baking powder will make it rise out and fluffy) 2) a flavorless oil is the way to go for frying so it does not alter the taste of your chin chin.

[@b.e2311]

If I don’t have butter,is it okay to just use oil?

[@Veeluvstocook]

Some people do but be careful (maybs use less amount of oil when compared to butter)since it is liquid fat it will add more moist to the final texture thus might not be as crunchy as if you used solid fat . Moreover the butter add more flavor and richness to it though .

[@b.e2311]

Veeluvstocook_ Okayy thank youuu💛

[@oliviajakery5755]

Hi,can i freeze for days?

[@Veeluvstocook]

Are you talking about the finished product or the cut shapes before you fry them. For both questions, YES you can freeze. I have not dont that myself but definitely you can freeze for days and fry later. The longer it stays in the refrigerator(causing it to dry up more) the more crunchy result you will get . I hope this answers your question Let me know how it turns out

[@ejiofordubem5724]

ma please, I need your help. I have a client that wants chin chin BT he wants to substitute sugar wit honey. how possible is it ma and how can I do it?

[@Veeluvstocook]

Hmmm...🤔. I haven't tried it before. I know honey has been used as substitute for sugar to add sweetness in baked goods or grilled meat etc. However I have yet to see it used in fried foods especially if it will stay in the hot oil for a while..my concern is that it might burn and again the taste might be lost in the process in addition to the health benefit. However I never say never , he can try it but he should make a ver small batch first and see how it goes. Another thing i might try if I am doing this will be to really really regulate the heat and probably fry at low temperature so basically slow and steady. Again note this will be experiment . It might not work or turn out to be a beautiful mistake as well. I hope this helps

[@ejiofordubem5724]
